this feels like a dumb newbie question. probably cuz it is. anyhow here goes:

what points are you guys using to lift the engine/tranny when dropping it into the car. i can see any easily accessible lift points w/o having to remove stuff.

 

I pull the intake and valley cover and attach to the valley cover bolt holes using a 4 point attached engine leveler.

Pulled engines 10+ times this way, no problems.

 

yea i found out that is the recommended way of doing it on LS1Tech, but there are alternate methods that are just as effective LOL

thanks for the info.

 

Care to share the alternative ways?

 

old fashioned chain diagonally across the engine, with a chain separator(i.e 2x4) to keep it off the manifold). it is the one that made the most sense, though i would probably remove the coils just for extra safety. i have seen this method used on older 350s as well.

when i say effective i mean they get the job done. not quit as tidy.
